The ignored GospelFrom Fr. Denis' lectures I learned that this was the cinderella of the Gospels - ignored mostly in the litrugy over the years. On reading the commentrary I can see why Mark's Gospel might appear as a threat to so many people, yet his frankness, even bluntness, gives a modern audience so much hope.

Thanks for helping to re-instate this beautiful Gospel!John Cummerforld

A superb introduction to MarkIt's not easy to find a reflective book on Mark's Gospel - usually the writing is either too scholarly for ordinary folk or too fundamental for those who use their brain. This book is a wonderful exception. It is thoughtful, readable, and deeply inspiring. I worked through it with my daughter who was doing her first degree in theology, and we both loved it. And. believe me, I am no scholar! Just an ordinary bloke who, thanks to Denis McBride, has learned to love the Gospels.Jim Fenton
